    Intended Use

    The SoftFixTM Balloon Trocar have application in a variety of endoscopic procedures to provide a port of entry for endoscopic instruments into the body cavity of patients.

    Device Description

    The SoftFix™ Balloon Trocar is a series of sterile and single-use Trocar intended to be included as an extension to the previously cleared Unimax Trocar Series.

    In general, the Trocars from Unimax Trocar Series consist of an Obturator and a Cannula containing a seal system. The Obturator is used to place the cannula through the incision site into the patient's body cavity where the Cannula remains anchored at a desired position. For that anchoring purpose, previously cleared Trocars belonging to the Unimax Trocar Series are equipped with threaded Cannulas or Cannulas with a movable bolster. As a series extension, the Cannulas belonging to the SoftFix™ Balloon Trocars are now available with an inflatable balloon and a manually movable bolster to provide stabilization and minimize the fascial trauma during an endoscopic procedure. Whereas these Cannulas are also designed to be compatible with the Obturators belonging to the previously cleared Trocars from the Unimax Trocar Series. The balloon and movable bolster combination on the cannula come with two options;

    • a) "SoftFix™ Balloon Fixation Ring" combination
    • b) "SoftFix™ Balloon Fixation Cone" combination

    Similar to Cannulas of the Trocars from the Unimax Trocar Series, each Cannula of the SoftFix™ Balloon Trocars is a combination of a sleeve and a housing, fitted with a pair of seal and valve to maintain pneumoperitoneum when the Obturator or other laparoscopic devices are inserted or withdrawn through it during the surgical procedures. The Cannula also contains a stopcock with rotation valve at its proximal end in order to allow or prevent passage of any insufflation gas (e.g. CO2), when needed. Near the stopcock, the Cannula contains an inflation port to inflate/deflate the balloon using a standard syringe. While the movable "fixation ring" can be slid down the Cannula sleeve to adjust its height as well as fixing the Cannula at a desired position, the height of the "fixation cone" can be adjusted by pressing the thumb notch present on it and the Cannula can be anchored at the desired position by affixing fascial sutures on the struts present near the thumb notch.

    Non-clinical Testing (In vitro & In vivo)Meets requirements of pre-defined acceptance criteria for safety and effectiveness, as per IEC 60601-2-2 and other relevant standards."All the test results demonstrate the performance of Unimax Suction Irrigation Set meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria and intended uses."
    "The results of the non-clinical testing demonstrate that the Unimax Suction Irrigation Set is as safe and effective as the predicate devices."
    "The result of bench testing indicates that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate device."
    BiocompatibilityMust pass various biocompatibility tests.* Cytotoxicity test: Passed (Same as predicate)
    * Intracutaneous test: Passed (Same as predicate)
    * Maximization sensitization test: Passed (Same as predicate)

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    The document mentions "a series of in vitro and in vivo preclinical physical, mechanical and biocompatibility tests." However, it does not specify the sample size for the test sets (e.g., how many devices were tested for each specific non-clinical test) or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    This information is not provided in the document. The testing described appears to be primarily bench/laboratory testing and biocompatibility assessments, which typically do not involve expert ground truth establishment in the same way clinical imaging or diagnostic AI studies would.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    This information is not applicable and not provided. The described tests are laboratory-based and do not involve human adjudication of results in the context of diagnostic performance.

    5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    This is not applicable and not provided. The device is a physical surgical instrument (suction irrigation set), not an AI diagnostic or assistance tool. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human reader performance with or without AI assistance is irrelevant to this device.

    6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    This is not applicable and not provided. The device is a physical surgical instrument, not an algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be established by pre-defined technical specifications, engineering standards (e.g., IEC 60601-2-2), and regulatory requirements for device performance and safety (e.g., fluid flow rates, suction power, material strength, biocompatibility standards). For biocompatibility, the ground truth is the biological response observed in standardized tests against accepted thresholds.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    This is not applicable and not provided. The device is not an AI/machine learning model, so there is no concept of a "training set" in the context of this 510(k) submission.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    This is not applicable and not provided for the same reason as point 8.

    Intended Use

    The Unimax Specimen Retrieval System is indicated for use as a receptacle for the collection and extraction of tissue, organs and calculi during general and laparoscopic surgical procedures.

    Device Description

    The Unimax Specimen Retrieval System is a sterile and single-use specimen container designed for use in retrieving specimens during endoscopic surgery. The Unimax Specimen Retrieval System is supplied in a dispending tube for ease of insertion through a standard 10, 11 or 12mm trocar sheath.

    AI/ML Overview

    This is a medical device, not an AI/ML device. Therefore, the questions related to AI/ML device performance and studies are not applicable.

    Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the Unimax Specimen Retrieval System:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The provided document (K103510) is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device. For such devices, acceptance criteria are typically established through a series of non-clinical tests to demonstrate safety and effectiveness. The document refers to "pre-defined acceptance criteria" but does not explicitly list these criteria or their specific values. Instead, it states that the device "meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria."

    The performance is described relative to a predicate device (Applied Medical Resources Corporation Specimen Retrieval System, K100959), asserting "substantial equivalence."

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance
    In vitro & In vivo Preclinical Physical Tests"All the test results demonstrate the performance of Unimax Specimen Retrieval System meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria and intended uses."
    In vitro & In vivo Preclinical Mechanical Tests"All the test results demonstrate the performance of Unimax Specimen Retrieval System meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria and intended uses."
    Biocompatibility Tests"All the test results demonstrate the performance of Unimax Specimen Retrieval System meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria and intended uses." (References ISO 10993-1, -10, -12 for evaluation framework)
    Overall Safety and Effectiveness"The result of bench testing indicates that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate device."
    Substantial Equivalence"The Unimax Specimen Retrieval System...is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, principles of operation, materials and performance to the cleared Applied Medical Specimen Retrieval System..."

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The document mentions "a series of in vitro and in vivo preclinical physical, mechanical and biocompatibility tests" but does not specify the sample sizes used for these test sets. The data provenance is generally "bench testing" and "in vitro and in vivo preclinical tests," which are types of lab or animal studies, not human clinical trial data. There's no indication of country of origin for the internal testing data, but the submitter's address is in Taipei, Taiwan. The studies were prospective in the sense that they were conducted specifically to support this 510(k) submission.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

    This information is not provided in the document. For non-clinical tests on a medical device like this, ground truth is typically established against engineering specifications, material standards, and biological safety standards (like ISO 10993). It is not usually established by human expert consensus in the way it would be for an AI diagnostic tool.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This is not applicable as the tests are non-clinical and objective, based on measurements against predefined criteria and standards rather than human interpretation requiring adjudication.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size

    No, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI image analysis or diagnostic tools, not for a physical specimen retrieval system. Therefore, an effect size of human improvement with AI assistance is not relevant.

    6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study Was Done

    No, a standalone algorithm study was not done. This device is a physical surgical tool and does not involve an algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth for the non-clinical tests (physical, mechanical, biocompatibility) would be based on established engineering specifications, material science standards, and accepted biological safety standards (e.g., ISO 10993). For instance, a tensile strength test would have a pre-defined ground truth for the minimum acceptable strength. Biocompatibility would be evaluated against the absence of adverse biological reactions as defined by ISO standards.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML system that requires a "training set."

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    Not applicable. (See point 8).
